    There's no reason to eat only egg whites. Dietary cholesterol in eggs has been proven to not affect blood cholesterol. The egg yolks have a lot of protein as well and other nutrients the whites don't have.

    no reason other than calorie count, anyway. yolks are good for you, yes. they also have a ton of calories as compared to their white brothers.

    Never really thought of it that way. I'm vegetarian so I like the B12. Never ate enough eggs for the calorie difference to hurt my diet.

    I usually eat a lighter breakfast so I can have more calories to spend for the other meals. an entire egg is, I think, 70 calories. the white only is 25. so with two eggs, I can have 50 in whites or nearly 100 more with the yolks.

    I buy the egg whites in the carton (I actually get a 4-pack at Sam's club for like $6 or something) and I put 92g (2 servings) into a microwave safe dish, microwave it for 1.5min and put it on a toasted english muffin. Sometimes I'll add a soy breakfast patty to make a complete "fast food" breakfast.

    Its super fast, and super easy.

    If the thought of just whites wierds you out, try the whites that have a bit of yolk mixed in (comes in a carton). Not that bad calorie-wise, and they do taste more like whole eggs. I like putting Greek or Italian spice in mine and adding tomatoes, mushrooms or onions if I have the time. I pair my eggs up with a slice of whole wheat toast and a 90-calorie Cracker Barrel cheddar snack for a rounded breakfast :smile:

    I like egg sandwiches, but I usually use 2 eggs -1yolk. Delicious about 250 calories. Sometimes I add ham or cheese. Depends on my plans for the day

    I see. My strategy is opposite (not saying it's better). I try to front load the day with protein and carbs in breakfast and lunch. I'm totally OK with most meals being around 350-450 cals and 30-50g protein. I basically graze every couple hours the rest of the day. Maybe I should add some egg whites to to my whole eggs to up the protein without adding a lot of calories? IDK maybe. Not a fan of boxed eggs or the effort and waste of separating eggs. Will think about it.

    I use one whole egg and three whites and scramble them with a little milk and sometimes a bit of cheese. We have chickens in our backyard and haven't been eating many eggs lately, so we have about 7 dozen in our fridge. If I use 8 to double that recipe for my son and I, I'm making a dent in the egg backlog :)

    When im really in a rush i'll just cook up 1/2 cup - 1cup of egg whites, add lowfat cheese, salt and pepper and have it on a couple of slices of wholegrain toast. It still tastes pretty bland. So i add Low sugar Pizza sauce or tomato paste (which only has like 20cal) to the mix or spread on the bread. Adds a whole new delicious taste to it!

    Tuna + egg salad is nice also

    my breakfast every morning is
    1 cup eggwhite
    1/2 cup oats
    splash of water

    Microwave for a minute at a time, stirring after a minute. Cook untill eggs are firm. Top with sugar free syrup.

    For my husband's lunch I make pancakes. Blend 1/2 cup oats into powder, then add 1 cup whites and one cup of protein powder. Blend untill smooth. Cook like pancake. Makes two large pancakes. Top with sugar free syrup, PB or Jam.

    I also add cooked eggwhite to stirfries and soup. or I make veggie omelettes.

    I also buy them by the carton from Costco. Cheapest way around here.

    My trainer suggested I boil up a dozen of eggs on Sunday to have throughout the week. It works for me! I boil them, peal them, put them in separate containers. My mornings are crazy too! I grad and go!
